PNEUMONIA
A Scientific and Accurate Description of
this Dreaded Blood Disorder.

at is generally supposed that pneu-
monia is due to the accidental penetrating
of specific microbes into the system, but the
observations of NJ. Jaccoud show that the
disease really results from the development,
under favorable conditions, of micTobic
germs permanently present in the system. A
chief condition Of such development is a
sudden chill, which explains the frequent
coincidence of lung affections with abrupt
changes of temperature. "-SeieRtifc Amer
lean.
Another prominent (American) authority
ascribes pneumonia TO an excess of ozone,
ozone being produced by passage of cleo
trieity in the air.
distinguished American physician tells
the New York Tribune that the prevalence
of pneumonia indicates the universally of
uric acid condition of the blood-sudden
chills always being characteristic effects of
100 much acid, of one sort and another.
The disease, as NJ .Jaccoud observes, is I'M
doubleday in the blood, but if i'll the form
of permanent microbes or germs, these
germs must be developed by the uric acid
condition of the blood. Indeed, they can
not presumably exist in alkaline blood
Uric acid is the name for the waste matter
OF the system, which the kidneys through
evident though unsupported impairment,
have not been able to filter from the blood
the filter being foul and stopped up in
many of its little hair-like tubes
The Iirbuee's authority says that pneu-
monia is a secondary disorder, the exposure
and cold being simply the agents which de-
velop the disease, already dormant in the
system, because the kidneys have been but
partially doing their duty. In short, pneu-
monia is but an early indication of
bright's diseased condition. This i'm
paired action may exist for years without
the patient suspecting it, because no pain
will be felt in the kidneys or their vicinity,
and often it can be detected only by chem
ical and microscopical examinations. Nearly
$50 of the 740 deaths in New York City the
first week in a recent March, and in six
| weeks Isl deaths, were caused by pneu
| monia alone.
If one has occasional chills and fever, a
| tendency to colds in the throat and lungs,
rheumatic and neuralgia pains, extreme
| tired feelings. short breath and pleuritic
| stitches in the side, loss of appetite, back
ache, nervous understanding sensations
| or scant and discoored fluids, heart fiutter-
ings, sour stomach, distressed look, puffy
eye sacs, hot and dry skin, loss of strength
and yirility, pneumonia is likely to strike
him down any day, and his recovery is
doubtful.
These indications may not appear to-
gether, they may come, disappear and re-
appear, for years, the person not realizing
that they are natures warnings of coming
calamity
The disease is very quick-acting and if
the accompanying kidney disorder is very
| far advanced, recovery is impossible. for
| the kidneys give out entirely, and the pa
tent is literally suffccated by water.
The only safeguard against pneumonia is
to maintain vigorous condition of the
| system and thus prevent attacks by using
whatever will radically and effectually re-
store full vitality to the kidneys, and for
this there is nothing equal to Warmers safe
| cure. If the kidneys are not sound pneu-
monia cannot be prevented. This remedy
is known to millions, used, probably, by
hundreds of thousands all over the globe,
and commended as q standard specific
wherever known and used. 1t does not
| pretend to cure an attack of pneumonia,
but it does remove the cause of, and pre-.
vent that disease if taken in time.
When physician says his patient has
either brights disease or pneumonia, he
confesses his inability to cure, and in a
measure he considers his responsibility
ended. In many instances, indeed, per
sons are reported as dying of pneumonia,
heart disease, apopleXy and commissions,
when the real cause OF death, and so known
| by the physicians, is this kidney consump-
ton. Thousands of people have it without
| knowing it, and perish OF it because their
physicians will not tell them the facts.
| The same destiny awaits every one who
will not exercise his Judgment in such q
matter and be true to himself, his family
and to society.
